tools/bootconfig: Show line and column in parse error
Show line and column when we got a parse error in bootconfig tool. Current lib/bootconfig shows the parse error with byte offset, but that is not human readable. This makes xbc_init() not showing error message itself but able to pass the error message and position to caller, so that the caller can decode it and show the error message with line number and columns. With this patch, bootconfig tool shows an error with line:column as below. $ cat samples/bad-dotword.bconf # do not start keyword with . key { .word = 1 } $ ./bootconfig -a samples/bad-dotword.bconf initrd Parse Error: Invalid keyword at 3:3 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/158323469002.10560.4023923847704522760.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
